I'm in Detective Conan, and the system has appointed Batman.

However, something strange is why the killer would leave a notice before committing the murder...

"That's strange."

“I read the contents of my uncle’s letter of authorization. After receiving the murder threat, Mr. Fujieda Mikio installed surveillance cameras in some places in the manor.”

"In other words, the difficulty of the murderer's crime has increased considerably compared to before."

"If the murderer is indeed someone from the Fujieda Mikio Manor, then he should be very familiar with Fujieda Mikio's habits, and it shouldn't be hard to guess that Fujieda Mikio would take such action after receiving the warning letter."

"Why didn't they just shoot Fujieda Mikio directly from the start, instead of resorting to this kind of threatening method?"

Conan, sitting in the back seat, stroked his chin and said with some confusion.

"Could it be that the murderer knew that Mikio Fujieda would install surveillance cameras in the manor after receiving the murder warning, so that he could carry out his murder plan?"

But this might not be too strange.

What kind of murder plan could possibly be carried out with surveillance cameras present? And why would it have to happen after the detective arrived, rather than before today?

While it's not unreasonable to attribute it to the mysterious thought processes of the criminals in Beika Town.

After all, many of the criminals in Beika Town are the stubborn type who think that famous detectives are no good, that their murder methods are flawless, and that even if a detective were to be a witness, they wouldn't be able to see any clues.

Conan has noticed many criminals like this.

He now almost subconsciously felt that the reason the murderer waited until the detective arrived at the manor before killing him was to make the detective a witness.

If that's the case, then the murderer's time to kill Fujieda Mikio would be between this afternoon and tonight.

Conan knew that if Kogoro Mouri were to go to Mikio Fujieda's house to investigate the culprit, he would only stay until nightfall at most, and not for much longer.

Don't ask, the answer is that I completely broke off my engagement with Jin Hua and felt a little embarrassed to stay overnight at Tengzhi Ganxiong's house.

Have some self-respect.

Eri, standing next to her, nodded slightly in agreement.

"If we follow this line of thinking, then that is indeed the case."

"I must say, Conan, your reasoning ability is indeed quite good. I've thought so ever since the last time I met you."

Her words immediately made Ran Mouri turn her attention to Conan.

Conan instantly realized something was wrong, scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile.

"No, no, it was all taught to me by Brother Chen En."

He used to bring himself up as an excuse all the time.

Now he feels that Chen En is a more authoritative excuse, so he directly uses Chen En as an excuse now.

Ran Mouri also withdrew her curious gaze.

It turns out that Mr. Chen En taught Conan these reasoning skills.

That's not surprising at all.

After all, Mr. Chen En's reasoning skills are no less than his father's!

Eri Kisaki, on the contrary, felt somewhat puzzled.

She chatted with Chen En for a while today to discuss the matter of legal counsel. How come she didn't know that Chen En also knew about the matter entrusted by Kogoro Mouri?

However, she only had some doubts in her mind and did not say them aloud.

Although Eri Kisaki and Chen En didn't have much interaction, Chen En and Kogoro Mouri had a close relationship.

Perhaps Chen En had previously looked into this matter and was planning to lend a hand?

Seeing that the two seemed to have been fooled, Conan breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, I managed to keep my identity for another day.

The vehicle soon arrived at its destination for the day: the entrance to the Fujieda family manor.

Unlike the Nagato family manor that Conan had visited before, the Fujieda family manor was significantly smaller. The only decent thing about it was the flowerbeds behind the fence, which looked quite beautiful.

At the entrance to the manor, an elderly butler with white hair reached out to greet them.

However, he had some doubts about Eri Kisaki, because today's guest was the great detective Kogoro Mouri, and who was this unfamiliar woman...?

Before the old butler could ask, another figure happened to pass by.

He had just walked a short distance when he suddenly realized that the person behind him looked familiar, so he turned around and looked at Eri Kisaki, saying with some surprise.

"Oh, aren't you the Queen of Law?"

"I remember that the person who was supposed to come today to help investigate the person who sent the murder threat was Detective Kogoro Mouri. May I ask why you are here? What is your relationship with Detective Mouri?"

The man was middle-aged, and looked to be around 45 years old.

Ran Mouri was about to introduce Eri Kisaki's identity to the middle-aged man.

But then Eri Kisaki stepped forward and introduced them.

"Nice to meet you. I am Eri Kisaki, the legal counsel of the Mouri Detective Agency."

"Detective Kogoro Mouri couldn't come this time due to other matters, so he asked me to come in his place. I look forward to your guidance in the investigation ahead, sir."

Ran Mouri: ?

She felt a little confused, then saw the middle-aged man smile and say something.

"I have no right to offer any guidance. I am Fujieda Shigeru, the younger brother of the former mistress of this manor."

"This gentleman next to me is the manor's old butler, Ueki Kusahachi... Old butler, since Mr. Mori Kogoro has invited this legal advisor to investigate for him, please lead them into the hall. I have some things to do back home."

After finishing speaking, Fujie Shigeru hurriedly headed towards the hall.

Ueki Kusahachi bowed slightly and said.

"Miss Ki, Miss Mori, and this young gentleman."

"Please come with me, the master is already waiting for you in the hall."

They watched as Ueki Kusahachi led them toward the villa's lobby.

Ran Mouri finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Mom, why don't you say you're Kogoro Mouri's wife?"

Hearing this, Eri Kisaki raised an eyebrow and said.

"If I were to mention that idiot detective's name here, people would look down on me."

"And that man actually looks quite handsome..."

After she finished speaking, she walked inside with a smile.

Conan, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but complain.

You two really are a perfect match, "birds of a feather flock together"!

Chapter 1061 Haha, it should be a mistress who's here... why is it my mom?

I just entered the Fujieda family's hall.

Upon entering, I saw a mysterious white-haired man with a bowl cut hairstyle.

He looks quite old, probably around 60 years old.

Although Conan didn't know who the person in front of him was, judging from Eri Kisaki's unpleasant expression and Kusahachi Ueki's behavior, it wasn't hard to guess that the person in front of him was the client of this request.

Mikio Fujieda, the current head of the Fujieda family.

When Fujieda Mikio's gaze fell on Eri Kisaki, he showed a somewhat disdainful look.

"Attorney Fei, what brings you here?"

"I remember I invited Kogoro Mouri this time... Oh well, I don't expect you to solve the case. Just don't cause me any trouble later."

He turned around, sighed, and walked down the corridor, leaving behind a comment.

"I think this is just a prank by someone in the manor who doesn't like me."

"Now that the surveillance cameras are all installed, since that person hasn't made a move yet, they definitely won't. Honestly, speed skating making me hire a detective is a complete waste of my time and money."

Ran Mouri met many clients with Kogoro Mouri.

Among all the clients, Fujieda Mikio's attitude was among the most explosive.

She was quite human-like when she met Kogoro Mouri at the hotel, so how come she's suddenly been reduced to a humanoid creature? Is there really such a big difference in her attitude towards Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki?

Conan, standing nearby, merely twitched the corner of his mouth, somewhat understanding why Eri Kisaki had a bad impression of Mikio Fujieda.

This is the attitude with which this person speaks to others.

It would be strange if others had a good impression of him.

"...After marrying into the family, that person used a lot of the Fujie family's money to engage in some shady businesses. As a result, he has dealt with some of the companies where I serve as legal counsel, and I have seen him in court a few times."

"That's why I said this guy is no good person at all."

Eri Kisaki sighed and said.

“It’s perfectly normal for someone like him to want to get rid of him, especially in Beika Town.”

“If your father hadn’t spent all 10 million in commission and couldn’t fill this hole for the time being, I wouldn’t have bothered dealing with Fujieda Mikio’s guy.”

Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

She didn't know what to say for a moment. She couldn't very well join her mother in scolding her father, could she?

Just as Ran Mouri was pondering how to smooth things over.

A voice suddenly rang out from the stairs.

"Oh, you've arrived?"

Ran Mouri and Eri Kisaki both looked up at the person walking down the stairs from the railing.

This is a young woman, who looks quite young, no more than 30 years old.
